Arts and Crafts

The Pillaton Arts and Crafts Group was set up in the Autumn of 2013. Meetings are generally held fortnightly on Tuesday afternoons from 2 - 5 pm. in the Village Hall. The current committee consists of Jo and Don King (350890) to represent the Arts interests and Linda Mavin, Elizabeth Barton and Liz Hamilton for Crafts.

Its first exhibition was held on April 5th 2014 and proved very successful. See photos from this and other meetings:

Bell Ringing

There is the opportunity to take part in Tower bell and/or Hand bell ringing if you wish. Practice night for the Tower bells is Tuesday at 7.30 pm. in the church of St Odulphus. Hand bell practice normally takes place on Wednesday evenings.

More information and contact details can be found on this ringing news page.

Book Group

A small book reading group that normally meets at 7.30 pm. on the third Thursday of the month. Turns are taken to select a book that is read by all in the period leading up to the meeting. Discussion about the book then takes place during the meeting which is hosted by the chooser at their house. Usually there is plenty of time to chat about other things too! For further details, contact Jo King (350890).

Other Matters

We are lucky to have so many children in the Village they deserve safety, so drivers/bikers, please reduce your speed within the Village. Slow down and take your foot off the accelerator. Thank you.

Pillaton Village News

The Village News has been going for several decades now to keep the local community up to date with events. It is published every other month and more recent copies can be viewed or downloaded from the Village News page.

Pillaton World War One Commemoration Group

The Group was established in 2014 to recognise the lasting impact of the Great War on Pillaton and wider society, and to provide a lasting legacy of the 100th anniversary of the war. The intended goal for such a lasting legacy is to purchase for the parish, in perpetuity, the playing field adjacent to Pillaton Village Hall. The Group plans local fund raising events and activities, as well as applications for grants from external sources, and hopes the purchase can be completed by the 100th anniversary of the Armistice in November 2018. Details of activities and events managed by the Group will be published on the website Diary page and in the Village News. Contacts for the Group are the Chairman, Peter Johnson (351409) or Secretary, Chris Ley (351033).

Skittles League

U3A

Whilst not actually held in Pillaton, a number of villagers are active members of the Callington U3A. This is an organisation for people no longer in full time employment which meets from 10 until 12 noon in Callington Town Hall on the first Monday of the month (or the following Monday if that is a Bank Holiday).

At these meetings there will usually be a speaker, an opportunity to meet other members in an informal atmosphere and the chance to find out more about the special interest groups that meet in various venues throughout the month. These groups include such activities as art, creative writing, needlework, walking, music appreciation, science and many more.

To find out more, come along to one of the monthly meetings or visit the Callington U3A web site.

For names and locations of other U3A groups in the vicinity, see the main U3A website.

Walks around Pillaton

Andrew Harris has very kindly produced a booklet containing a number of walks for you to tackle that start and finish in the village. Maps and directions are given for half-a-dozen walks with distances varying from about 2.5 miles up to 8 miles. See Walks Around Pillaton for versions to view on-line or to print.
